Two things.

1. Today, I seen a lot of people (myself included) wearing:

Shorts & Slippers---Summer's right around the corner! YAAAAAAAAAY!!

2. Went to my nephew Kea's Volleyball game. An away game at a different gym. Walked in to the gym behind my sister-in-law and niece...tripped on the rug/mat. Walking in front of the bleachers--BARELY missed gettin' hit by someone's "kill". Started to walk up the bleachers--tripped on the first step in front of Kea's teammates. All this in less than 2 minutes. It's a wonder I made it out alive.

Best Friends - est. 1980

I'm so grateful for my best friend Liz. This photo was taken Saturday evening at my friend Tanya's reception. She was very willing to come to a Mormon reception in which she knew no one and isn't even a member. I'm very grateful for her willingness.
Liz and I have lived across the street from each other since we were born (except for when I left for my mission and college). We attended the same schools all of our lives. She's been like the sister I never had. We’re quite different, always have been. Yet in the same aspect, we’re very similar. However in the end, we compromise which always helps. She puts up with all of my crazy antics and lame jokes, but never complains. I'm so grateful to have had her as a constant friend in my life. She has a big heart and gives beyond measure. Thanks for everything Liz.

To-Do List

Friday April 11, 2008

TO DO

1. Say morning prayer/read Book of Mormon for AT LEAST a half hour/write in journal.

2. Shower-but don't wash hair so I can dye hair a lil later. Or dye hair first? UGH!?

3. Check email REALLY quickly (try not to log onto MySpace or Blogger)

4. Cook & eat breakfast, maybe oatmeal and toast tomorrow. Sounds good.

5. Start some laundry. Have I dyed my hair yet? Probably do that. Locate vaseline for hairline.

Today’s one of those days that I truly love my life. I love Sundays. I love the opportunity that I get to spend time with my family. I like it when we really get to spend it as a ‘day of rest’. I love my life. Today has been such a wonderfully uplifting day. I loved every second of General Conference today. I’m so grateful that I took time out this week to prepare myself spiritually to receive the testimonies and talks of our inspired General Authorities. It has truly made a difference. I couldn’t get enough of it. I loved all of the talks. I love our dear prophet, President Thomas S. Monson. The Mormon Tabernacle & other various choirs performances were spectacular, as always. There’s a definite difference in a home when the Spirit is present.
Right now we’re waiting for our kalbi ribs to be pulled off of the grill. There is nothing that I love more than having Sunday dinners with my family. I love it when I can look around the table and see everyone present (well, with the exception of my brother Wayne who lives out of town.). How blessed I am to spend the rest of eternity with these people. Plus, Sunday dinners seem to be a lil more than the average weekday dinners. Tonight we’re having (Korean) Kalbi Ribs, rice, corn, potato salad and crab won-tons. Talk about DELICIOUS!!
I’m grateful for this weekend and the things that I’ve been able to learn, appreciate and recognize as blessings in my life.

Hmmm??

So...I've been blog surfin' lately. And I have a question...is it ok to comment on blogs that you like? Cause I mean, if it's something that sparks your interest or catches your attention...wouldn't you want to say something about it? Even though you may not know the person? Then do you not want to leave a comment cause it's a perfect stranger? Plus, why is it called a "Perfect Stranger"?? What's perfect about a stranger? Isn't that the exact type of person your parents warned you to stay away from....now how are they suddenly perfect? Wow, maybe I should just really go to sleep. Ok, so really---stranger's blog--comment or no comment?

I LOVE it when...

...White people dance. It's kinda funny.



and

GRR!!

Ok, when I said that this was going to be me on April 12th...I meant dancin' the night away and havin' fun!

So, I'm kinda mad, but I prayed this morning that I wouldn't be so mad about it.... but since I already have my dress for my friend's wedding next Friday--it kinda stings a lil more.

I asked my friend PJ--back in February--if he'd accompany me to my friend Tanya's wedding. I know it's going to be a wonderful wedding (ie: delicious food, great dancing music and close friends & family) so I couldn't go stag. I asked my friend PJ because I thoroughly enjoy his company. He's extremely funny, charasmatic and a gentleman that has some sweet dance moves. (We happened to both serve our missions in New Jersey & now he lives about 40 miles north of me). As awesome as he is, I knew in my heart of hearts that he would flake--since he's done it before. Yet, I allowed myself to get my hopes up. GRRR!!!

So when I said that this was going to be me... I didn't mean, having to use an escort service to find a wedding date.
